Anyone recognize this unusual trawler?

This beautiful boat is currently in a Shelter Island San Diego Boat Yard. Very little online about the build other than its a 1988 built in Germany. You might assume they own stock in a marine varnish products company!

Interesting, but Ugggghhh! The MAINTENANCE!

Thanks for sharing the picture! Lovely, simply amazing, especially to the eyes of a guy whose boat has zero exterior wood.

The Canadian Air Force used to keep an executive Convair 580 at Colorado Springs. It was VERY highly polished bare metal with red flashes (and maple leaves, of course).

One of my controllers asked, "What do you use to keep that finish so bright?"
The reply: "enlisted men."

It's called a Malahide North Sea Trawler and you are right it's beautiful - home port is Newport Beach

That's a very nice boat...having owned a wood boat previously for 8 years, one can appreciate the work that goes into it to keep it in that condition.
